    Eventually, it will be Russias undoing as well. Just wait and see the long term results. I am sure once Putin confiscates your funds, you won't be praising him.

    I'm sure you're praying it will happen. There's a better chance you'll join the clergy before my funds are confiscated by Putin.

    More delusions. Seriously, you should lay off the fake news for a while.

    It’s a shame they have election corruption. They have no influence over Putin’s boneheaded decisions.

    Russia doesn't need financing from the West. The Bric nations: China, Russia, India, S. Africa, Brazil, UAE, Bangladesh and their new applicants Iran and Argentine, will now have their own currency and financing system - or hasn't CNN told you?

    But look, if it makes the West feel better, then be my guest. If I were the EU politicians though, I would think a little more about how the people are going to heat their homes and fill their stomachs come wintertime, otherwise they might end up hanging on lamp posts.

    Russia has enough grain to feed the world, but I don't think the EU will get any - and to top it off, there is now a shortage of rice as well. Oh well, at least Asia and Africa will be eating well, compliments of Russia.

    Nice post. Thanks for that. California is also putting houses on prime farm land. Regarding water, California has some tough environment decisions to make regarding how much freshwater goes out to sea vs flows to protect fish.
    The problem is, Calif politicians prefer to sidestep real problems and piddle around with worthless “feel good” laws.

    If you believe fake news, then yes. If you understand the financial system, then no.

    Bill, when are you going to learn that Russian propaganda is not true? Every time I or anyone else proves one of your posts false, such as when I showed you that the Indian site used another site's photo of a Ukrainian howitzer in a fake news story about Russia allegedly capturing French howitzers, you just silently slither away and go on to post other false claims from Russia and their internet proxies.

    Durandal - I guess I missed out on a few countries. Maybe it's time you started reading some real news. Did you really think Russia didn't know what it was doing when it paid its debt in rubles? More and more nations are now joining the new monetary system, because they don't know when the US and its satellites will be placing sanctions on them.

    Soon they will have their own SWIFT and their own international currency. They're working on it. This is from a non MSM foreign source:


    Iran and Argentina have requested to join the Brics.

    Russia and China, together with the other BRICS countries (India, Brazil, South Africa) together with Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Chile, are creating the new International Monetary Fund by putting in 15 billion yuan (about $2.2 billion) each, in order to replace the Western-influential IMF and lend themselves at a better interest rate to the countries of the world that need financial assistance!

    The announcement was made by the Central Bank of China – and followed last week's publication of Vladimir Putin's own Chinese-Russian plan to create the "anti-dollar" for international transactions, involving countries such as Brazil, India and South Africa.

    The big news is the participation of states such as Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Chile, which are considered to have been until now either in the western camp (Singapore, Chile) or committed to neither (Malaysia, Indonesia).

    The latest idiocies from those in charge, is to ban Russia's gold - which is really funny. First of all the price of gold will rise, and besides, most of the gold is bought as wedding gifts in Southern India.

    Then again maybe Russia will hold on to it and put the ruble on the gold standard. Who knows! One thing's for sure, Russia has plenty of gold.

    It is not my job to explain how Clearstream, Euroclear and the DTC interact. All I am willing to explain is that the West looks like dumbasses to anyone who knows how these systems interact.

    So, since you've called me a paid Russian troll.....tell me about how that works. Tell me when I should expect a payment from Pootie Poo.

    It's not only sad, but also pathetic. You have no responses grounded in fact so you resort to personal attacks. I don't mind though, nor do I report you.....I just laugh at you.

    Speaking of having no responses, you never respond when you are shown to be wrong.

    In post #280, then you edited it before time was up. Remember now? That's what I thought. Caught, busted....but I really don't care...I just laugh. Once again, I didn't report you to the mods.....it's cheap entertainment.....keep it up. :thumbsup::thumbsup: I'm still laughing.

    Your nick is "Bill Carson", and you have a reb battle flag as an avatar. And, you seem overly favorable to Putin. An archetype.

    You're trying too hard. And you seem angry at me. Why?

    It is your "job" to provide a source and some logic to support your post. Why can't you do that?

    Life's good when your City isn't being bombed..


    Scenes of horror as Russia bombs shopping mall

    Russia fired rockets at a shopping center in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk Monday, sounding alarm bells that it is stepping up attacks on civilian structures regardless of the loss of life.

    I wonder what the Russian State Controlled Media reports about all of this. Definitely not the facts or truth.

    Russia with Putin is no different than Iraq with Saddam or Pol Pot with Cambodia or Kim Jung Un with North Korea etc . . .

    Just a population of a country being held down by a ruthless dictator.

    I challenged Bill Carson to a test. He goes to downtown Moscow and I will stand in front of the White House gates. We both hold up a sign that says "Putin is a Moron" for him and "Biden is a Moron" for me. We will see who gets arrested and loses their personal property or money. He has never replied.
